Just got the derby made in Canada in 9.5D - 1/2 size down from my usual 10D - the reason I did that was last year I got the made in Canada Johnson and had to size down 1/2 for a proper fit.

But the derby is too tight - ack - should have purchased my usual size. That's the prob with buying over the internets.

enjoy your weekend folks

Interestingly, I just got a pair of Greg oxfords made in Canada in size 10D and I felt like I should have gotten them in 9 1/2 instead. Not that 10 feltt too loose, but my hunch is that 10D would have been a better fit. Given what you say, I am glad I got them in 10D--9 1/2 might have been too snug.

In my experience, they fit significantly bigger. I've noticed f/w styles can be sized like Red Wings due to having room in the boots for thicker socks. Never hurts to get in touch w the stores though, chances are if they're stocking brands like Yuketen they have experience with the various styles.

On another note, I'm really interested in seeing the Sneaker Mocs this season.

Can anyone comment on how the English Moc fits relative to other Yuketen models? I had a pair of Sport Hunt boots in a 9 that were way to wide/long. Wondering if I'd need an 8.5 in the English Moc or if I could get away with a 9...

The heel seam on my maine guides is starting to get really loose and frayed and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about where to get repairs, Portland, OR specifically, or mail in. I emailed Yuketen but was wondering if any of ya'll had dealt with this issue.
